Method

Preparation

In a heavy-bottom saucepan, pour 4 cups of whole milk and set it over medium heat. Stir gently and watch for small bubbles forming around the edges, indicating the milk is warming—about 5 minutes.
Once the milk reaches a warm temperature, reduce the heat to low and gradually add 1 cup of finely chopped white chocolate and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir continuously with a whisk or spatula for 3 to 5 minutes, ensuring the chocolate melts completely.
After all the chocolate is melted and combined, remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully ladle the Creamy White Hot Chocolate into mugs, filling them generously.
Top each mug of warm white hot chocolate with your choice of whipped cream, sprinkles, or festive stir sticks. Serve immediately.
